The Moderately Low (Not Slammed) and Functional Thread

Good to see the progress on the 6!

I don't think Steve ever brought that to a Myrtle, I could be wrong. Maybe the last one? I remember when Greg bought the big brake kit for that car. I remember driving it for the 1st time in Ohio after he installed them. Road down to Myrtle in it, road around in Niagara Falls in it, Hocking Hills, Ohio in it. OMG, so many memories in that car. Nice to see it's technically still in the community.

 

[JKPgt96]

What kind of BBK is on it?

 

[Chefsp0t]

It's still in the community. I am an admin on mx6.com. Have been on there since 2002 when I got my old one.

It has an Outlaw 13" 4 piston big brake kit on it.

 

[JKPgt96]

That is one of the old HyeDraCyl kits then, right? Before Greg switched to WilWood calipers?

 

[Chefsp0t]

I don't know the exact specs of this kit but I don't know any other kits that used outlaw calipers.

 

[JKPgt96]

I know I have seen them before on a Probe/mx6..I thought it was in Greg's early kits, but I could be wrong..

NVM..that is the RR-Racing BBK.

 

[Chefsp0t]

I don't know where Steve got it from. I'll ask him and see.

 

[JKPgt96]

Nah it is okay..I was just curious more than anything..

 

[Chefsp0t]

RR-racing used them with their original BBK. They have since switched to KVR parts with their new stuff.

 

[Domino81]

Greg bought those used from someone. I don't remember. I just remember when he got them. OMG... MX6.com. That site sucks. I haven't been on there in so long, responses take so ******* long. I haven't been on MX6.com in YEARS. Depending on how much Goatcrapp changed, I can probably tell you quite a bit about that car.

 

[Chefsp0t]

Yeah it's pretty much dead now. Just a few remaining members who are active. It's nothing like it was a few years back.

It's cool that you know Steve. He is an awesome guy. I don't think he changed much since you saw it. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right?

 

[Domino81]

We partied in Myrtle together.

One of the non-Mazdas after coilover install and alignment:

Didnt think those wheels would work, but they actually look great!

 

[THE Phen]

sub. whats ur opinion on stock tokico blues with 17'' STI BBS rims?.. painting them black for my silver p5. theres a set on here for 300 shipped.. might pick them up... or just go with illuminas. would there be much of a difference from stock p5 struts to the tokico blues.. or do i need to put different springs to get any kind of difference in drop. ? will be posting pics of my car once the install is done.

you will not lower your car unless you change out the springs. replacing struts only changes the damping. springs are what hold the car up.
